Maybe it happens by moments. In second grade I saw a colt, bolt out of a trailer and hit it's head on the barn wall. A few days later I saw it dead-bloated and-well just think of "The Little Red Pony" and that's a lot like what I saw.
Then in 6th grade we were watching Pollyanna at school they stopped the film and announced Kennedy was shot.
My dearest guy friend died his freshman yr in college too-his appendix ruptured. I've lost more friends along the way and each time it has changed me and the way I look at life.
The thing that has really affected me is realizing that the nature of people seems to have sucumbed to looking out for number 1. People lie. Adults lie more than children. I cherish an honest person as they are getting harder and harder to find.
The one moment that is irrefutable in my eyes, is when a parent dies. No one will ever love you like they do and that loss strips any little shred of innocence left.
Billy----I found some condoms in my Mom's drawer. She was there and I asked WHAT ARE THESE! She said baloons!
hmmmmm I BELIEVED her! I was kind of old too!
